Designers and engineers around the world use 3D Systems printers to impressively communicate their design concepts under ever-tightening deadlines.

Seabird Aviation Australiadesigned and developed the aircraft SEEKER, a most unusual design compared to standard aircrafts. Described as a cross between a helicopter and a glider, it was purpose built for surveillance and patrol operations.

Using SLA (stereolithography) technology, 3D Systems Asia-Pacific created a scaled replica model of the Seeker for Seabird to display at the world’s most professional aviation show in Beijing, China.
